So I may be the last person in the world to try this awesome crockpot recipe, but since I barely got my first crockpot at Christmas, I hope you’ll give me a little slack for getting so excited about it. I found this recipe at Baking and Creating with Avril and I’m still in awe that you can cook something cheesy for hours and hours and not have it burn and get crunchy. Once again, my family totally loved this little treasure and I loved how completely easy it made the dinner rush! Thanks Avril!

My favorite brand of jarred spaghetti sauce is Ragu Chunky Gardenstyle Roasted Red Pepper, but when I made this for the blog I used the Trader Joe Marinara sauce. I think whatever your family would normally like on their spaghetti would be perfect!

Hi Jolene, This is totally a guess, but my guess is that the little kids end up with about 1/3 chicken breast each plus 1/2 cup noodles + sauce. For the teens and adults it's closer to 3/4 chicken breast each + 1 cup pasta and sauce. Hope this helps.

This is my husband's favorite dish. I N-E-V-E-R make it because it visually makes me gag. A thick layer of cheese on top swimming in red sauce is just not my idea of dinner. This looks more appealing and I will give it a try!

So glad you posted this months ago. We love it! I made it today for a crowd, and I just stacked the chicken in the crockpot with cheese and sauce between each layer. I had three layers of chicken and it turned out great! Such an easy way to feed a group. Just thought I'd let you know you can pack your slow cooker full with this recipe!
